Worldwide Reference System (WRS-1 and -2) used in cataloging Landsat data.

The Worldwide Reference System (WRS) is a global notation used in cataloging Landsat data. Landsat 8, Landsat 7 follow the WRS-2, as did Landsat 5. Landsat 4, Landsat 3, Landsat 2, and Landsat 1 followed WRS-1. The shapefile holds the bounding box coordinates.
